  • I’m memory of our dear Grandad Grainger, who supported his family in good times and bad, who loved us without judgement.

    I loved that my childhood was spent just across the paddock from you grandad and i loved that you were as deaf as a post when it suited you.
    You taught me to ride a bike .

    You are never forgotten - you came home from the war - you have a large family who are all grateful for that.

    My name is Raylene Richards I was your eldest grandchild born to Gladys your daughter and her husband Walter Richards. I have one younger brother Ivan.
